Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: wild carrot

Did you know that this flower is also called a wild carrot? While the roots are young, they are edible but become too woody as they mature. I love the flowers, which really do look like lace, don't they?! :) I think the opening buds are very alien-looking and interesting to look at. Steve and I found these flowers when we visited Cottage Grove a couple of years ago.
